PERFECT

We spent 2 weeks here with our son and daughter-in-law and our grandsons, 1 and 3. The accommodation was excellent, it was clean with comfortable beds and good facilities. The layout of the house meant my husband and myself could have our own bedroom and bathroom without disturbing the rest of the family. The views of the Picos from the back garden were amazing and there were fantastic nearby beaches. There was a good nearby supermarket and petrol station. Car is essential.

On a wet day, we visited the el soplao mine, Fuente de cable car was also good fun. The grandsons had a marvellous time too, especially at Pechon, our favourite beach

In all, a peaceful,relaxing stay in a comfortable house with an amazing position.

Lovely restaurants, which we sampled usually at lunchtime because of the age of our grandsons, Comillas was a favourite.

The owner is extremely helpful and pleasant and answered emails very quickly.

We hope to return here in the next couple of years, we would certainly book this property again

Vacation between Atlantic and high mountains

In July 2011 we spent two very beautiful weeks in this house with two families (6 persons). The house offers all comfort, is clean and lies in calm situation. The small overslept village does not offer purchase possibilities, so that a car is necessary. Abanillas is an ideal starting point for numerous trips to the coast (very beautiful beaches) or into the mountains (magnificent high mountain landscapes). Spanish knowledge facilitates the communication with the house administrator and the neighbours. The house owner (who also speaks good English) is very friendly and forestalling. She reacted fast, competently and uncomplicatedly to all inquiries. We are altogether so content that we rented this year again this house.

Great Experience

Would highly recommend this property for its quiet location. The house is very well cleaned and is as in the description. The village of Abanillas is very quiet however 8km away the town of St Vincente has everything required.

Having some Spanish would be a bonus as we hardly met any English speaking people.

We spent 2 weeks with our children, 10,8 and 1, and we all had a great time exploring the nearby fantastic beaches and taking day trips to places like the nearby mountain range - Les Picos, Bilbao, Santander and many many more interesting places. A car is necessary.

The house is in the village of Abanillas, located 10 km from San Vicente de la Barquera. San Vicente is a beautiful coast village. It offers plenty of different plans: beach, surfing school, hiking, walking, golf, natural parks, cultural life...at 20km we have the beautiful and historic towns of Santillana, Comillas, the caves of El Soplao. By car at one hour we have the natural park of Picos de Europa. The beaches are many: San Vicente de la Barquera, Oyambre, Gerra, Prellezo, San Vicente de la Barquera (Merón), Pechon...There are golf courses, one is not more than 20 Km in Comillas Oyambre, and the one from where Severiano Ballesteros was born, PEDREÑA, in Santander, as well as great hiking and walking and very, very good restaurants at a very good price everywhere, in every town. It is a great location for day trips of different interests: cultural, beach, golf, nature, gastronomy even Bilbao with the Guggenheim museum is not more than one hour and half by car. Santander is only 50 km by car and is known to be one of the most beautiful cities in Spain. My son enjoys the surf lessons at the beach of San Vicente, they are vey nice people, he loved the caves of El Soplao, the walks around the house, Picos de Europa...

Other Activities: Natural park of Oyambre, caves of el Soplao, hiking Picos de Europa, golf in Comillas and san Vicente de la Barquera, the beautiful town of Santillana del Mar, the natural park of San Vicente de la Barquera.

Golf: The golf of Comiilas is 15 minutes by car. It is a beautiful resort facing the beach. The famous golf of Pedreña in Santander is one hour by car.
